Happy February!

As I sat here munching on an apple, I decided that I would write a short bit about what we have been doing since we all came back from Christmas vacation.

We have entered into the Health portion of this course. In this part, the goal is to reach out to the community by teaching them about what we are learning through various methods; for example we will learn Massage Therapy, and will invite members of this community to the school to recieve massages if they so desire. We will be having a Health Expo in the near future which will include a variety of things, one purpose being to teach them the 8 natural laws of health. (NEWSTART).

Currently, what we are studying is Hydrotherapy. In this class we have been learning and practicing how to give: hot foot baths, contrast baths, Russian steam baths, cold mitten friction, fomentations, and possibly some more will come. The next thing we will be doing is Massage Therapy which I am personally looking forward to a great deal. I have already learned some things about it, and I have enjoyed it greatly.

Other classes we have include Anatomy and Physiology, which are a little bit harder but are still quite interesting, and we have Bible classes still. We are going through the book of Revelation now, and are also looking at Church History. These classes are also interesting and time is flying by.

We still have work time every afternoon, but with the cold weather and the fact that the sun goes down so early, we have been working shorter hours, and some of the jobs have been more random just because there is not always something set that can be done that day. Another thing they have just added is Nutrition classes, where we will get to go to the kitchen and learn how to make some different things.

So that is just a short look at what we have been doing since we have been back here; I hope all is well with each one of you, and with that I say 'Feliz Sabado' y buenas dias.
